Q: Is it mold or dust in my air vent?

• <div><p>You normally won&rsquo;t see any dust or mold actively floating out of your vent, but you might notice your vent looks dirty. Mold will cling to the sides and collect almost like black soot. Dust will look, well, dusty, but there will usually be a heavy buildup so expect thick gray layers on the bottom and sometimes the sides of the vent. <b>If you suspect you have mold in your vents, call a professional immediately. </b></p></div>

Q: Can you put air freshener in ductwork?

• <div><p>While you can put air fresheners at the opening to ductwork, most experts don&rsquo;t recommend it. You will only disguise the odors rather than treat the underlying cause. Plus, blasting the concentrated chemical fragrance into your home&rsquo;s air when the HVAC system is on may be overpowering and cause respiratory issues. </p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t open the flue?

• <div><p>Failing to open your flue can lead to serious health hazards if you start a fire because the smoke will back up into your home. Breathing fire smoke, even in relatively small quantities, is bad for human lungs, and smoke can also irritate your nasal passages and eyes. Furthermore, smoke can cause damage to your interior fixtures and furnishings, at the very least leaving an unpleasant smoky smell for a long time. In short: If your flue isn&rsquo;t open (or you&rsquo;re not sure if it is or not), don&rsquo;t start a fire to find out!</p></div>

Q: What kills mold spores in the air?

• <div><p>Air purifiers are meant to kill airborne mold, along with pollen and dirt. Air purifiers are a good option if you have allergies and need a whole-home solution, whereas dehumidifiers are best for naturally damp areas (like a bathroom). Consider getting an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-indoor-air-quality-testing-cost.htm">indoor air quality test</a> to determine if an air purifier is right for you.</p></div>
